Vigil At Towson University Planned For Hit-And-Run Crash Victim

TOWSON, MD — Police continue looking for information in the fatal hit-and-run crash that claimed the life of a Towson student over the weekend. The suspect vehicle is believed to be a Toyota with damage to the driver's side mirror, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.

Mzimazisi Ncube, 20, of the 300 block of Burke Avenue, died as a result of the crash, police said.

Ncube had been trying to cross North Charles Street south of Ruxton Ridge Road when he was hit by a Toyota Sequoia or Toyota Tundra that continued north on North Charles Street around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8, officials said. A Mercedes also hit him, and that driver remained and called 911, police said.
